Mark Russo is a great friend of mine from college. He also happens to be a super-talented trumpet player.

We haven't been in touch nearly enough, except for Social Media. He made me aware of a gig going on in Cleveland that sounded like it would be a lot of fun to photograph, so I took advantage of a good photo opportunity to also hang out some great friends that I hadn't seen in years.

It was a great night! My other great friend from college, J Scott Franklin, who also happens to be a super-talented musician, came to hang out as well. As Mark and his septet played some amazing Art Blakey tunes, I got some great shots...

And here's three great friends from college who haven't been together in probably 15 years! We promised that we won't wait another 15 to do this again!
